ESPN Outdoors: What A Waste
Thursday, May 6, 2010 22:07It’s no secret that we don’t like the way ESPN handles their Outdoors section of their site. The site is old, not maintained, and blogs are months old. So tonight I’m relaxing, drinking a few cold guys, reading my usual hunting sites. Somehow I land on ESPN Outdoors site, in the Hunting section. Right off the bat, I am confused at what I see. I have to double-check that I am indeed on the hunting page of the site. Under the “Headlines” in the right nav, there are links to 4 fishing stories out of a possible 10 links…40% of the hunting headlines are fishing headlines. No mistake about it, I love fishing and love reading fishing articles, when I’m on fishing web pages. Why is there a link to Tournaments? It’s a known fact that a majority of tournaments are all fishing tournaments.
Your Twitter stream is mostly tweets about your field cam, and you are often re-tweeting you field cam statuses, sometimes even responding to yourself. Come on guys, you are suppose to be “The Worldwide Leader In Sports.” You are far from it.
I have never noticed that about ESPN Outdoors. Upon thinking about it more, this fact actually echoes your article. I realized that I never noticed this about ESPN Outdoors, because I RARELY visit their site for hunting info. So, if they are supposed to be a leader in the outdoors, I should have been on their site often (unless I am slacking, which may be the case :))
